ALL SALES FROM NOW ON WILL HAVE EARLY BIDDING AVAILABLE!!
As soon as the auction is live you will actually see what the early bidding is up to, prior to the lot being open on sale day. When you place an autobid, you will see if the reserve has been met or not. This means that you can decide to bid more if you would like to.
All lots will start at £3 for early bidding purposes but some items will have reserve prices higher. If the reserve hasn't been met when the lot is opened on sale day, we will start the bidding on the reserve.
Please message in advance of the sale for condition reports or to arrange a viewing slot on Tuesday or Wednesday.

If you require postage please use the 'request shipping' link on the email with your invoice. Packaging will be done 4-5 days after the sale. We aim to have items with you within 1 week. We will send tracking details when on route.
